AndrewA74 Posted August 20, 2008 #51 Posted August 20, 2008 And the best velcro DCU I have seen without patches... Andrew (This one has no sleeve pockets)
Nkomo Posted August 20, 2008 Author #52 Posted August 20, 2008 Andrew, Very nice jackets! Did you need my address so you can send them my way?
gwb123 Posted August 20, 2008 #53 Posted August 20, 2008 This DCU came from a Navy SEAL. It is 100 percent legit as I know the Sailor. It is named.I understand that this style of Modification DCU was quite common for SEAL Teams. It may have been done at unit level (as in the Rangers) and not the by individual. Notice the slightly slanted chest pockets, they are in fact the bottom pockets which have been moved up. The chest pockets are now on the arms. Notice the large amount of velcro on the sleeve pocket body and also above it. Here is a pic of the exact same type of jacket in use by a SEAL. Left arm Right arm I had to ponder "NKA"... most likely "No Known Allergies"... good info if the medic has to work on you in a hurry!
AndrewA74 Posted August 20, 2008 #54 Posted August 20, 2008 Andrew, Very nice jackets! Did you need my address so you can send them my way? Ha, ha, ha. So funny, I forgot to laugh. . Thanks for the compliments. Andrew
Nkomo Posted August 20, 2008 Author #55 Posted August 20, 2008 You are 100% correct sir. "NKA" does stand for No Known Allergies.
Nkomo Posted August 20, 2008 Author #56 Posted August 20, 2008 Ha, ha, ha. So funny, I forgot to laugh. . Thanks for the compliments.Andrew Andrew, OUCH!!!! That really hurts!!!
AndrewA74 Posted September 8, 2008 #57 Posted September 8, 2008 OK, here is a SF modified one with patches!!!! I need to put an 82nd back on it and another unit patch. They are farther down than normal. Enjoy! Andrew (Opens with velcro)
Mercenary25 Posted September 9, 2008 #58 Posted September 9, 2008 Here's a good reference of modified Chocolate Chip BDU with tan LBV.
Nkomo Posted September 9, 2008 Author #59 Posted September 9, 2008 Here's a good reference of modified Chocolate Chip BDU with tan LBV. Thank you for posting that picture! That is one of the few pictures I have ever come across that shows 6 color desert and the tan LBV vest. Thanks for the great picture reference! Arch
Mercenary25 Posted September 9, 2008 #60 Posted September 9, 2008 Some better pictures of the soldiers. What kind of vest and body armor are they wearing? Thanks! Edit: I couldn't quote pics of SF display?
AndrewA74 Posted October 18, 2008 #61 Posted October 18, 2008 What kind of vest and body armor are they wearing? Thanks! Edit: I couldn't quote pics of SF display? It looks like MOLLE but MOLLE didn't come out until the late 90's. Andrew
